Skimlinks adds tracking to some, primarily retailers' links, to show they come from this forum. For some retailers, instead of using Skimlinks to turn the link into a tracked link, we use affiliated links set up through other third parties. Then if it generates revenue from that, this site is paid. The links don't change the content, or what you see or track individual data ? but they do help fund this free forum. So we hope you choose to switch it on. See the full Skimlinks factsheet for more.

As a foodie, I cook everyday of the week from scratch, but I've yet encountered any decent roast dinners for a long time when dining out. I've been to most pubs and restaurants around the city area and nothing compares to what I can make at home, quality-wise. I Just need to put my feet up and let someone else do the Roast for a change, but where are they? I would love to find all the trimmings (lots of fresh veg - cabbage, swede, parsnips etc but i absolutely hate finding peas in roasts, so inappropriate!) and plenty of meat too. I think the Carvery option is the best, then I can choose what I want and have lots of variety!! If not, then in a decent-sized portion. Can pay around a tenner, if it's worth it!!

The Victoria at beeston is yummy - they do food all day and on a sunday d a roast plus other sutff. mmmm its not the cheapest around but its sooo good you wont mind.

It is very busy though so get there early or wait til after 2.

th eother palce is the golden fleece on mansifield road - a little known fact one of the ex cheifs at the world service owns it and the food is fantastic and not a bad price too. i havne thad sunday lunch but have eaten there and was very good.

last time I went there for a Sunday roast - which they also did at night as well I had 9 vegetables from the carvery. Was about 18 months ago so perhaps somebody else could confirm whether it's still as good?

thanks everyone, i shall be visiting them all one day, firstly the ones in nottm i'll check out as they're the closest. i'vfe been in the fleece a couple of times, but not been to eat tho', so that'll be useful as it's close to town. the victoria - is that by the railway st? if so, i'll defo check this one out as i love all the olde style with the railway memorablia. it's a real ale pub with real character!

In derbyshire,Holbrook The Spotted Cow,i worked there as i loved the carvery,9.95 for adult,very popular very busy,bookings at weekend. All fresh local food.Same owners own Spanker at Nether Heage Derbyshire,Its cheaper at 6.95 same quality but less choice of veg.I work there now...Chief Spanker! Ps a spanker is a ships sail! Nothing kinky!

hey possette!
thanks for that, i love derbyshire! we like to walk in the Peaks (edale, bakewell, chesterfield etc) if you know of any others over there then that'll be great. btw, we don't have a car, so we tend to find a bus/train route to the aforementioned walking places.

Please please try the Shepherds Rest at Bagthorpe - we took our families there (we have been quite a few times anyway) after our wedding day in 2007 and all we hear now when we see any of them is "we must come to see you again so we can do cavery at the Sheps!"

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't AS a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
